Moskva, the flagship vessel of Russia's Black Sea fleet, was evacuated due to a fire, the Russian defense ministry said in a statement on Thursday.
But Ukraine made a conflicting claim that the Russian warship was damaged in a missile attack.
"The fire on the cruiser Moskva is under control. There are no flames visible. Ammunition supplies are no longer exploding," the ministry said in a statement.
They claimed that Moskva is still afloat, and the main missile armory has not been damaged.
